      "{@creature Vecna the Archlich|VEoR|Vecna} is a powerful archlich known to some as the Undying King, the Whispered One, and the Master of the Spider Throne. Vecna studied the dark arts from childhood at the knee (or under the boot heel) of his cruel hedge witch mother. Unshackled from the bounds of time and space, Vecna's terrible touch may be as inevitable as death itself.",
      "{@item Hand of Vecna|DMG|The archlich's withered hand}, also unstuck from time, is a legendarily powerful artifact that grants its bearer terrible necromantic abilities at the cost of the bearer's own hand and eventually at the cost of their life.",
      "While awaiting the inevitable end of all things in Vecna's wrinkled gray clutches, one might as well enjoy this deliciously smoky and potentially sacrilegious cocktail, created either in tribute to a dastardly figure or as a rebuke to a sinister bogeyman."

    "Peated scotch obtains its signature intensity and smokiness from the process of drying barley, when peat—a mixture of decayed vegetation—is burnt to halt the malting process. The smoke penetrates the grain, remaining present in the final product."

    "Pour ¼ ounce of absinthe into each of two rocks glasses. Swirl to rinse, making sure to tilt them to reach the lip of the glass. Discard the excess and set the glasses aside (see Cook's Note on {@recipe Necromancer|PaF|this page}).",
    "In a mixing glass, muddle the sugar into the angostura bitters to break down the sugar until they have reached a syrupy consistency, adding a few drops of water if needed. Add the scotch to the mixing glass and fill it halfway with ice. Using a long-handled spoon, stir until well chilled, about 30 seconds. Add the large cubes to the rocks glasses. Strain and divide the mixture evenly between the two glasses. Garnish with orange peel and star anise. Serve at once."
